Anyone satisfied with Irons a YEAR or older?

[BCC]

MP 53's.....certainly tried MANY sets of irons, but these have worked the BEST !!! Twice now........

[bobbydazzlewazzler]

Went out tonight with Titleist 690MB 3-PW and an MP33 2 iron with a 6.5 rifle shaft. Driver was a 905R.. Absolutely killed the 2 iron on multiple occasions - can't possibly imagine how newer clubs could feel better than that...!!

[robbie91]

I've had the Miura CB501's since around when they were first released (2012 maybe??). I don't see myself switching anytime soon.

[TheHof28]

Currently use the Fly-Z Pros, but I have a set of Razr X Forged that I also absolutely love. I think they were from 2011?

[oskaru]

My irons are almost 7-8 years old. 2 iron even older. New isn't always better.

[tbrown2907]

Still game my 712 AP2's. No plans on changing them anytime soon.

Is anyone happy with their iron set that's a year or older????? I just bought covert forged in December and Im dying to switch to something new just because....

I've been using the same clubs for more than thirty years. That has not stopped me from buying and trying other clubs for a while and getting them to work for me but once satisfied that they work well I return to my old faithfuls especially if the game is important to me. I simply like my old clubs.

Agreed. I would even go so far as to say that new isn't necessarily better, it's just different.

For much of this season I have been playing a set of irons that are at least 30 years old. Once I got on to them there is virtually no difference in performance for me versus a current type iron. They may not be as forgiving, but they do offer some advantages in terms of turf interaction and control that is hard to duplicate with the modern iron. Woods and wedges are a different story, but with irons and putters there seems to be little reason to be flipping clubs for supposed marginal gains.

And what might those be? FG-51 by Wilson? Ping eye-2's?

[behubbard]

Ping i5"s w ZZ65's

[hwwong]

Takes me a few months just to get comfortable! Play my irons 2-3 seasons.

[Laws of Woo]

I've had the Adams CB1s in my bag since a few months after they were released (Roughly 5 years). I definitely like a few other new models and have considered, but I can't see myself switching anytime soon. Prior to my CB1s I had the Adams Tight Lies irons for about 9 years.

[cals]

Have a love hate relationship with my mx300s at the moment

[putts4bogey]

My i25's are a year old now. I'm very satisfied and see no reason to change.

Hahaha! My 690.CB (3-6i) are still in the bag! I just don't play enough to wear them out, so I only ever have to replace the bottom end of my bag. I LOVE those clubs. Classic, look great, pretty beefy and I'm used to the lofts, yardages. I get my MB's bent to correlate to those lofts in fact. I see no need to replace them.
[/quote]

I've played my 690.MB's for a long, long, really long time. I've tried replacing them over the years, but they always seem to make it back into the bag. I guess I'll just quit trying to replace them and hit em' till the grooves wear out. Which I'll probably pull the shafts and send them out to be refurbished... Lol

[hoosier18]

I've had my VR pro combos since they came out and I'll play them till the grooves are gone. Nothing I've found yet can compare to them

[zggolfer]

My son is now 11, so i think my Wishon 770's must be 11. My how time flies.

These days I feel a little self conscious about my attachment to Eye 2's. I just bought my third set of that model, a BeCu set. I'm getting old and have long been looking for a set of those brown clubs and was afraid I'd never find a set. In the next week or two I'll be having them bent to my specs if I can persuade my club maker to do the job. I need an appointment to get him to humor me.

All excellent clubs.

Oh god. 962B brings back a lot of memory. Played them briefly before getting exposed to MP14s then MP29s

710 ap1's i've hit irons that feel similar but nothing i felt were better. if it aint broke don't fix it
[/quote]

Amen to that. I bought the 714 AP1's last year and played them for two weeks. My trusty 710's went bag in the bag and that's where they'll stay. Luckily they forgave me. They are still the best feeling, and most consistent iron I've ever hit. I can't imagine ever playing anything else. I have a back up set just in case.

[mlf]

Love my S55s. I am very happy with ping as the clubs look great for years. Used to play forged clubs and always wanted a new set after each season. Problem is now Solved.

Great set of sticks. The 962's/962b's are very playable and hold up to any of today's "Player's cavity back" irons. Conforming grooves as well. If you want to grab a set for around $100 and play them for the rest of your golfing life and not have to worry about a thing, you can't do much better than the 962's.
